Chapter 252: Chapter 64 Waiting for Qingxu

A flash of azure light passed, and all the people in the Stone Hall Square were transported out. The battle for the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance, at least within the ruins, had come to an end.

As for those who were still trapped in other stone chambers, they could only be considered unlucky.

At the lake at the end of the Cuige River, a flash of azure brilliance appeared, and nearly a hundred figures emerged out of thin air.

"Zi! Supreme Water."

Qing Yu had just come out when he noticed the lake water forcefully trying to enter his nostrils. He couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly and used the Yin Yang Technique to push the water away.

Although the lake had been drained by an array when the inheritance ruins were opened, the lake was connected to the Cuige River, and after such a long time, the lake was once again brimming with water.

Using "Supreme Water" to manipulate the lake water to rise on its own, Qing Yu seemed like a river god. Amid the rolling waves, he slowly ascended to the surface of the water.

At this moment, the mist formed by the previously leaked Primordial Energy had almost dissipated. Although there was still a bit of mist left, it was enough to see.

Qing Yu stood on the water surface as if walking on flat ground, gently looking at a figure who seemingly wished they could devour him.

Qingxu.

As the last resort for the Zhenwu Sect’s battle for inheritance, as a precaution, he stood by the lake, quietly waiting for the winner of the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance to appear.

As a Divine Origin Realm martial artist, Qingxu was already considered to have reached the forefront among his peers, and he stood by the lake with an indifferent and composed demeanor, confident in his victory.

But when the figure with the bronze mask slowly rose from the lake, all the indifference was thrown behind by Qingxu.

"Master Yu!" Qingxu uttered the person’s name with gritted teeth.

"Daoist Qingxu," came Qing Yu’s oddly deep and echoing voice with a hint of Nuoyu. "Does the wound on your forehead still hurt?"

"You..."

A pliant-like Sword Qi shot up into the sky, cutting a crack through the lake water. Yuan Jianyi flew out from within, just in time to hear what Qing Yu had said, showing a rare expression of interest. "You injured him?"

At the same time, the Demonic Qi suddenly surged, blasting a large spray of water. The Demon Young Master and Yun Wuyue, two deeply cultivated individuals from the Demon Path, were the first to appear, leaping out of the lake as well.

However, unlike Qing Yu, they didn’t possess magical martial arts like the Yin Yang Technique, and had to find nearby objects to leverage their landing.

Yuan Jianyi and the Demon Young Master both found fragments of previously shattered boats to use as support points, while Yun Wuyue directly created an ice block on the water surface with his cold True Qi.

"Not just injured, but defeated." Qing Yu ignored Qingxu’s livid face and calmly revealed the humiliating fact. "But it was not ’present him,’ rather before his breakthrough."

"In a small town called Xixian in Hong Province, this Daoist Qingxu suffered miserably at my hands. If not for a loyal junior brother blocking a sword for him, Daoist Qingxu might already be resting underground."

"Enough, Master Yu!" Qingxu shouted angrily.

However, as an enemy, Qing Yu certainly wouldn’t indulge him and continued to uncover Qingxu’s old wounds self-absorbedly. "Perhaps it was from shame that he sought courage. After returning to the Zhenwu Sect, Daoist Qingxu secluded himself and broke through to the Divine Origin Realm. Logically, he should thank me!"

"Master Yu!!"

Qingxu stepped forward, his foot on the water surface blasting countless splashes. The burst of True Qi formed the illusory figures of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, faintly visible. In this extremely violent manner, he charged forward.

"Die!!"

As he made his move, he used the Extreme Move "Four Symbols Cycle," where the four-colored True Qi continuously circulated, disguising immense power within its tranquility.

Against Qing Yu, his life-and-death adversary, Qingxu was not going to treat him like Yuan Jianyi, whom he merely wanted to defeat. Qingxu loathed Qing Yu deeply, wishing he could eat his flesh, sleep on his skin, and tear his body into thousands of pieces. How could he possibly hold back?

Anticipating Qingxu’s reaction, Qing Yu’s lips curled into a small arc. He stomped on the surface of the water, raising several water curtains in front of him, shrouding him behind layer after layer.

However, such water curtains could not stop Qingxu. His rushing momentum was unstoppable, treating the water curtains as if they were nothing and turning them into a spray of water droplets scattering everywhere.

Yet, after the last water curtain burst, the figure of the enemy was nowhere to be seen.

"Cheap tricks! Seems like you still don’t understand the gap between the Innate and the Divine Origin."

He released his spiritual power, scanning the surroundings finely, searching for Qing Yu’s whereabouts.

"Hmm?"

The smile on Qingxu’s face froze instantly, sensing dozens, nearly a hundred people below the water surface, moving upwards.

They were the ones who had entered the inheritance ruins. Lacking the Power of Yuan Jianyi and Demon Young Master, they could only strive to swim upwards.

Qingxu wanted to capture the Yin Yang mixed aura of Gong Ziyu, but Qing Yu’s True Qi could transform into myriad forms, leaving no real distinct aura to track.

If Qing Yu’s aura was so easily detectable, he wouldn’t dare to show his face everywhere. It should be noted that in the world, there isn’t just Qingxu in the Divine Origin Realm. Not to mention Meng Yunfei, who is "clipped of wings and cannot fly," is also a figure in the Divine Origin.

Fortunately, Qing Yu did not allow Qingxu to be embarrassed for long. The lake surface suddenly surged with huge waves rushing toward Qingxu. At the same time, the lake surface beneath Qingxu began to freeze rapidly, the ice layers spreading upwards from below his feet.

Amid this sudden change, Qingxu was not alarmed but delighted, for such tactics, even during his time in the Innate Realm, could hardly harm him, who was protected by the Four Symbols Cycle, let alone now.

"Come out!"

With a furious shout, the Four Symbols True Qi burst forth from his body, raising massive waves of Qi. The great waves and ice were mercilessly dispersed by the Qi waves, turning into a rain of droplets falling down, making the scene look like a light rain was occurring.

At that moment, Qing Yu leaped from beneath the water, his body mid-air, his sword slantingly descending, "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal."

In this scene resembling a drizzling rain, even Qing Yu’s extremely powerful and dominating move "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" took on a sort of aesthetic mood. The fierce bronze mask and black robes could not conceal the ethereal aura of Qing Yu at this moment.

However, though his body appeared ethereal, his sword was extremely tyrannical; the sword light, like judgment descending from the heavens, bore merciless destruction toward the adjudicated.

This sword move was Outer Heaven Flying Immortal, yet it was not Outer Heaven Flying Immortal.

Or rather, it was not Ye Gucheng’s Outer Heaven Flying Immortal.

Ye Gucheng was a true Swordsman, so he trusted his sword and entrusted his life and death to it, achieving unity between man and sword.

However, Qing Yu was entirely different. For him, a sword was merely a weapon for killing; he simply could not entrust his life and death to an instrument.

Even if originally he had received not the secret manual of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" but Ye Gucheng’s complete Martial Arts Enlightenment, without that realization, he was unable to bring this peerless sword move to its fullest potential.

Thus, Qing Yu had always been seeking other ways to make "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" truly shine as it should.
